The knave but robs his native soil
While leaning on his labor.

To handicraft and labor.

A TALE or LOVE!
Two maids wore walk'ng in the grove,
(They both were growing old),
The one to tell a tale of love,
The other to be told.
"He is not rich," the elder said,
"Nor handsome, nor hlgh-boin;
The man whom I propose to wed,
Most oilier glvls would scorn."
'What in he, then? you make me fear;"
The maiden's tears fell fast ;
"lie was the flut to offer, dear,
And lie may be the last I"

91 OT OOD EKOt'GH FOR llfctt.
In the days of the good old colony of
Virginia, the distinctions of rich and
poor were based upon laws which, like
tho.c of the Mi-des nnd Persians, alter
ed not. One of the most devout fol
lowers of this code, was a wealthy
planter, living in what is known x
tho Northern Neck. He was in all
respects, a frank, openhearted,
gentleman ; but his estimate
manly
of his
fellow men was founded upon the
principle that governed his selection of
horses ni.oon. W ealth, too was by
no means an unimportant feature with
h'm. IIo had onr human weakness,
and, like all of ns, was influenced more
than he ever believed, by pounds,shil
lings nnd pence.
This Mr. G had quite a largo
family, and among them was a daugh
ter whose beauty was the standing toast
of the country. She was just eighteen,
and budding into lovely womanhood.
Not only was she beautiful in person
but her amiable disposition and many
accomplishments made her more tiian
ordinarily attractive, and the gentle
men in the Northern Neck were al
ready sighing for her love,
There were in the country at this
time a young man who was already
rising high in the esteem of his neigh
bors, lie came of good family, tut:
was, as yet, a poor young surveyor,
who had spent much of his time in
traversing unknown forests, with
nothing but his compass for guide, and
' liis chain for his companion, locating
' t land and settling disputed titles. He
Svas a model of manly beauty, and ex
pelled in all thevaried fealsof strength
in which the olden time Americans took
such prido. He was calm and reserv
ed, and there wrs alxmt him a dignifi
ed sweetness of demeanor that accord
ed well with lift frank independence
of character. He was a great favorite
with all that knew him, and there was
no gathering to which he was not
asked.
- - .... 1.1
Mr. u seemed especially to like
tno young man, and it was not ionS
before he insisted that tho latter should
abandon all ceremony in his visits to
him, and come and go when he pleas
ed. The invitation was heartily given,
and as promptly accepted.. The yonng
man liked the planter, and he found
the society or the beautiful Mary
. G a very strong attraction. The
' result was that he was frequently at
the planter's residence j so irequently,
. . indeed, that Mrs. G felt called
upon to ask her husband if he did not
' ' think it wrong ti permit him to enjoy
such unreserved intercourse with their
; daughter. The father only laughed
' ' edatthe idea, and said he hoped his
3 Li i i :i i -ii:
anything like love for a poor survey
or to blind her to her duty to her
family.
. , Nevertheless Mary G 1 was not
so fully impressed with this conviction
of dutv ns was her father. She found
' more to admire in the poor surveyor

suitors ; and, almost before she knew
it, her heart passed out of her keeping,
' and was given to him. Shekrvedhim

He knew that in all that makes a man
in integrity and honesty of purpose, he
was the equal of any one. lie believ
ed that, except in wealth, he stood
upon a perfect equality with Mary
G , and loved her honestly and
manfully, and no sooner had he satis
fied himself upon the state of his own
feelings than he confessed his devotion,
simnlv and truthfully, and received
from the lady's lips the assurance thr J
she loved him dearly.
Scorning to occupy a doubtful po
sition, or to cause the young lady to
conceal aught from her parents, the
young man Lankly and manluily ask
ed Mr. G for his daughter's hand,
Verv anarrv rrrcw the planter as he
listened to the audacious proposal.
He stormed and swore uinousiy, aii(
denounced the young man as an un
grentful and insolent npstiut.
"My daughter has always been ac
customed to riding in her own carriage,"
he said. ''Who are you, sir ?"
"A gentleman, sir," replied the
young man, quietly j and he left the
house.
Tho lovers were parted. Tho lady
married 6oon after, a wealthy planter,
and the young man went out again into
the world, to battle with his heart and
"conquer his unhappy passions. He
subdued it ; but although ho after
ward married a woman whom he lov
ed honestly and truthfully, and who
was worthy of his love, he never was
wholly dead to his first love.
The time passed on, and the young
man began to reap the reward of his
laliors. IIo had never been to the
house of Mr. G since his cruel re
pulse by the planter 5 but the latter
could not forget him, as his name scon
became familiar in every Virginia
household. Higher and higher he
rose every day, until he gained a posi
tion from which lie could look upon
the proud planter. Wealth came to
him, too. When the great struggle for
independence dawned, nnd he was in
his prime, a happy husband, and one
of the most distinguished men in
America. The struggle went on, and
soon too "poor surveyor' neiu me

highest and proudest position in the
land.
When tho American army passed in
triumph through the streets of Wil
liamsburg, the ancient capital of Vir
ginia, after thesurrenderof Cornwallis,
the officer riding at the head of tho
column chanced to glance up nt one of
the neighboring balconies, which was
crowded with ladies. Rccignizing
one of them ho raised his hat and
Iwwed profoundly. There wasa com
motion 011 the balcony, and some one
wanted water, saying Mrs. Lee lmis
fu'nted. Turning to a young man
who rode near him, the oftifcr said
p-rnvolv ! K'
"Henry, I fear your mother has
fainted. You had liettcr leave the
column, and go to her."
The speaker was George "Washing
ton, once the "poor surveyor," but
then Commander-in-Chief of the
armies of the United States. The
young man was Colonel Henry Lee,
the commander of the fimous "Light
Cavnlrv legion :" the lady was n
mother, and formerly Miss G , the
belle of tho "ISorlhern INcok.

FIRMNESS IN THE RIGHT
UAYNESBURG, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1867.
AS VERRwa BOY.
Henry Ward Beecher is never s
great as when yon see him among
men, or we might scy, perhaps, among
children. He never left off being a
boy. There is something so honest,
noble and childlike in his great square-
out social utterances, that in tri3
sphere he is perfectly irresistible. So !
powerful has this influence become
that the whole city of Brooklyn, and
to a considerable extent the whole na
tiou, is aff oted by his social example.
The narrow, contcmptiblo mannerism
that characteriz" the people atleoting
Churchaiiity, the Miss Nancvish wavs
of too many, even ot our clergy, the
pompous aire, exquisite snobbish-
, ness, pious propriety, and severely or
nate methods 01 soeecn ana writing
commonly supposed to give evidences
of refinement and taste, tho great
thundeiersweepsaway withouo blastol
11s trumpet of truth.
JUr. lieecher lias taught tne woriu
that to be saints men need not be
hypocrites,and to love the beautifuljone
need not be a sap-head. Culture may
kill out a man s uaturalness, and leave 1
only mere airs. Ueaa Brummel and
Jieeclicr are lorcver at war. un, now
disdainfully Araniinta Sophranisba
Roscwaler inverts and elevates her
proboscis at tho mention of some char
actistio "Beet'herism" of the Brooklyn
Bruncrgcs. "Did Mr. Bcc.'her actu
ally play ugly mug, and stir the pud
ding at a social gathering ?" said one
of these ancient maiden saints to us a
few days since. "It is positively hor
rid. It is a characteristic 01 men
who love truth supremely llin.t per-
m 11
sons have but little innuence over
them. God makes a truly wise man
so simple and unpretending that men
never look into the manger lor tne
King of the kingdom coming. Yet
it is there that we find our King.
"A little child shall lead them." The
child is the model for Christians to
follow and frame their characters by.
So does Mr. Beechcr. So do not the
great, the grand, and those filled with
pomp and bIiow. Visit Brooklyn,
and you shall see a man as brown as
a Western farmer, with a perfect tum
ble of hair, falling all over shoulders
as broad as a blacksmith's. His gait
is rapid, abrupt and blunt. He rolls
as he walks like a Cape Cod shipmas
ter. He wears a rough sack coat,
pepper and salt perhaps, breeches,
wide, roomy, and better fitting than
the pants on Webster's statue in front
of the State House in Boston. He
swings his arms as he gets over the
ground, ever and anon lifting his hat
nud smoothing back his hair over his
mosxive forehead. Ilia leaturcs are
coarse, his skin as rough nnd ruddy
as a Jack Tar's, and his whole air that
of a man overflowing with human
nature. "How are you?" is his grcct
'nv as he mccti you no manncrish
hand-shaking or I rench airs ; ho pass-
(1 right 011 unless you have business.
Then if you hem or haw, or hesitate
or don't come right to the point, ten
chances to one it ho docs not taKe
French leave at once, and leave you to
meditate upon tho abruptness of the
wonderful man.
In short, Mr. Beechcr has no non
sense in his make up. lie is mini
with good sense, ond woe be to Mr.
Diplomacy if he crosses his path with
his endless circumlocutions. He
crashes right in on your forms of pro
priety, your nirs and distinguished
considerations. We once saw him
beset by a committee it must have
been sent to extend thanks and dis
tinguished consideration for his great
services in bchait 01 our country
while in England. There wero kid
gloves of course. There was a per
fect puff of patchouly from silk hand
kerchiefs and court dresses, and dia
monds in a shower, and all that. Then
the French etiquette, the prelimina
ries, the coming to the point, the
craven manner, the bowings, nonsense,
hypocrisy, gentility, in short, refine
ment of the poor creatures, bewildered
the poor man so that when at lost he
shut them off with an abrupt grunt,
not even saying good evening, we
thought he breathed again as one gasp
ing tor fresh air. 1 his is the Amen
ennism of our times and country. He
is religiously and politically an em
bodiment of our future Church and
State. As the prophet of the coming
kingdom, he heralds in what his whole
life will yet exemplify. No man of
this nation is to impress upon the
nation his character more than Henry
Ward Beecher.
Franklin stimped his sprit of econ
omy upon our American boys, but
Mr. Beecher will stamp his whole soul
upon the lives and aspirations of our
whole people.
Cure fob Ingrowing Nailssv
It is stated cauterization by hot tal
low is an immediate core for ingrowing
nails. Put a small piece of tallow in
a spoon and hold it over a lamp nntil
it becomes very hot, and then drop
between the nail and the granulations.
The effect is most magical. Pain and
tenderness are at once relieved, and in
a few days the 'granulations all go
away, leaving the diseased ports dry
and destitute of all feeling, and the
edge of the nail exposed so as to admit
of being paired away without any in
convenienoe. 1 The operation causes
but little pain if the tallow is properly
heated. ' :

AS GOD GIVES US TO SEE THE
THEORIES OF AD VERTMIStl.
The business that mainly occupies
men in this world is trade ; the secret
of success in trade, after reasonable
judgement and industry are used, is
advertising. This fact was never so
generally recognized by business men
0 . 1 ?il- At? !i it
as now, ana wiui wis recognition wey
include the fact that only jiidi-aous ad-
!. !....:. L T LA J ,t
it judicious is one of the deepest pro
blems which come before them. For
this problem contains many conditions,
such as, for example, the medium for
advertising, tt-e time, the region, the
class of persoiU to be addressed, the
quality and quantity of things said,
the persistence thai may be desirable,
and, a'jove all, the discovery of some
new and striking way of seizing pub
):e attention. For the priz:i of1 ad
vertising are the result of combining
bold expenditures with original anil
pleasing methods.
The theories of advertisers upon all
these conditions, particular .'y tlie last,
are wonderfully various, those who
disbelieved in advertising at all, being
now too few for mention. One" man
believes in advertising in publieaiio. :-
where all his competitors advertise.!
another where ho will bo aloue : one
thinks advertising needless when busi
ness is brisk, and useless when it is
dull ; while another thinks the reverse;
one believes 111 the cwy, another in the
town 5 one bases his hope on mere
length, and another takes half a page
to print a few sentences, while another
puts his announcement npsido down.
Some advertise moderately and steadi
ly, and some inako showy displays oc
casionally. Iarge cities are full of
devices outside of Newspapers. Boys
distribute handbills at tho ferries and
on the streets 5 a painted bed with net
tings looped up greets the eyes of those
who cross Fulton ferry, in mosquito
time; men march solemnly about,
dressed in some mysterious garment
that proclaims the merits of India
rubber goods and weather strips, or
covered with buttons Jiom crown to
sole, or bearing sign boards of chiro
podists; a nuisance in the shapo of an
advertising van haunts Broadway, and
the curbstones, the fences, and the
very pavemcuts everywhere are a
flame.
It may be called accidental, but the
fact is that nearly all of the large for
tunes made intrude during the Inf.'
thirty years, both in this country nnd
in England, have been made in con
nection with iwrsistent and studied ad
vertising. Drs. Jayne, Brnndreth and
Ayer, Davis' Pain-killer, Russia salve,
Bonner's Leihcr, Plantation Bitters,
Hostctter's Bitters, Spalding's prepar
ed glue, Holloway's pills, Eastman's
business college, and Jiarnum s Mu
seum are good examples. The amount
of money sometimes paid for ndver
Using is almost incredible, some firms
having expended fifty thousand dol
lars in a single week, and even tens of
thousands upon a single advertise
ment. Bcsido burdening the fences,
several parlies have their own poets
and advertisement writers, at liberal
salaries. Messrs. Phalon & Son arc
reported to have such a man, to whom
thev nav three thousand dollars a vcar.
and whoso duty was for a time com
prised 111 devising a new conundrum
every day, which should set forth a
new the night blooming ccrcus.
The secret of judicious newspaper
advertising may be briefly stated. It
consists, not in long standing adver
tisements, which are inevitably placed
in obscure corners ; but in short, fresh
paragraphs, 1 renewed frequently, and
possessing tho interest of reading mat
ter. These are read for their own
sake, and make new customers, as well
as guide old ones.
Mrs. Lincoln. Amongst all the
mean things done by tho democrats,
about the meanest is the persistence
with which they dishonored President
Lincoln, and visit their hatred of him
upon his willow. While Brick Pome
roy shocks all decent people by his ri
baldry over the murder of our martyr
ed chief, his more respectable coadju
tors manufacture slanders on her who
brars his name. One story has scarce
run ib) rounds before another is started
aTicr it ; and the last, by the World,
is, that she is in New York, under
the name of Mrs. Clarke, trying to
sell her clothing and jewelry to add to
her slender income, it Mrs. Jjincoln
is reduced to such necessity, shame to
the land, and it is the people, not her
self, she screened when she dropped
that honored name, in such a transac
tion 5 but we have no doubt the story
is a sheer fabrication, made to gratify
democratic hate of the great dead, who
had honored his wife as do few living
men. Piflta. Gazette.

DEMOCRATIC ORATOR COIHIOI SUED.
We arfl informed that a village in

a Democratic orator was titterly con

of his own party. Ihe circumstances
are as follows i
lie had told them how the rich

slavery in spite of the efforts of the
Goddess of Liberty and several other

among other things tho following:

And in snilo of all that two or
three village leaders, candidates lor
constable and supervisor, could do, the
crowd gave three tliiinderini cheers
fur Ben Woilo and tho "'t,iaiinns.
The orator, finding that he had got on
the wrong track, abruptly brought his
remarks to a close. A lie, in that m

A.fTKtl'ITY or THE lit' WAX RACE.
Shakespeare, in "As You Like It,"
makes Rosalind fay, "The poor world
is almost six thousnn 1 years old, and
there are plenty of people in our own
liay who believe that this globe came
IVcdi fi'om the hand of the Creator
only sixty centuries ago. But geolo
gy has exploded that theory, ami tne
ahlest theologians now ogreo that the
"six days" of the creation represent
vast periods ot time, while tiie earth
itself is of inconceivable antiquity.
Ihe question winch now excites atr
tention is whether the human nice is
notfiir older than is generally believ
ed, and whether it wits not contempo
rary with tho great animals, remains
of which are now and then discovered,
but which becamo extinct before the
date of any history, sacred or profane,
or even of tradition. The interesting
discoveries resulting from the explora
tions now in progress in Kent's Cav
ern, Devonshire, England, show, in
disputably, thnt man was in existence
when the mammoth, three dillercnt
species of the elephant, the rhinoceros,

jions, ami ouier iimitmi.i were cumiiiuii
in that country, but which are now
extinct, for the bones of the animals
mve been found, and with them, tools,
weapons, and other articles winch
were the unmistakable work of human
hands, guided by intelligence. These
remains have been lound imbedded in
gravel ond stalagmite, and the explo
rations have been conducted under
circunistanccs ond with a care pre
cluding the posibility of deception.
A report ot these discoveries has
been laid liefore the British Associa
tion for the Advancement of Science,
in session at Dundee during the pres
ent month, and an interesting discuss
ion upon the antiquity of tiie human
race ensued. Sir Charles Lyell took
the ground that these discoveries were
proof positive that man was co-exist-
ent with the mammoth and other ex
tinct animals which have been believ
ed, heretofore, to antedate the human
race. Other members agreed with
him, nnd in the face of these discover
ies, defiantly challenged those "who
had whispered abroad objections to the
theory of the antiquity of man, to come
forward and state them now. wona.
